Lake with The Mason's

This past weekend, we had The Mason's (Chris, Katherine, Ellie and Molly) up to the lake with us. We all had a great time riding on the boat, jumping in from the top, tubing, EATING and the kids had a great time playing and exploring!!! The weather was just perfect, a GREAT weekend with friends!!!


Nicholas and Katherine (he has just this summer decided its ok to play in the middle of the lake with his life jacket on, he liked hanging on to Katherine's life jacket-just to be safe)

The boys LOVE the 4 wheeler,( poor Ted spends half his time on it)

4th of July

We spent the weekend at the lake and had a great time. Aunt Donna, Uncle John, Austin, Peyton, Nana and Papa joined us for fireworks and some fun in the sun (well, partly sunny with some sprinkles). We headed up early Friday and everyone else made it up by Friday evening. We did LOTS of fireworks, stayed out on the boat all day Sat, went out sat night to see the fireworks display at Sandy Beach and all hung out Sun with more firework (courtesy of Austin-piromaniac). It was a great weekend and the boys were in heaven, they are starting to get so much easier to take care of-especially up there. Here's the weekend in pictures-

Grant & Golf

Last week Grant went to a golf summer camp at the "First Tee of Arkansas". This was his first "golf experience" and he loved it!! We are trying to let the kids experience several different sports so tht they can then find out which they enjoy the most and want to pursue. Grant had a great time and knew several of the kids there. He is now lobbying for his own set of clubs!!!
